Warwickshire News Mine

The session is being run at Studley Youth Centre on Thursday 6 November at 4.30pm. The aim of the event is to encourage people in their early 50’s to think about their future health and learn more about what they can do to reduce the chances of them losing their independence later in life.

The activity is part of a pilot scheme being run by PHILLIS, a service provided by Warwickshire County Council, which helps people over 50 to live independently.

Sian Sansum, Service Broker- Stratford on Avon District
“We want to make sure that everyone is reminded that PHILLIS is a service for anyone who is 50 plus and offer them the chance to take part in some true prevention activities, running in different venues in south Warwickshire.

"We hope that the event in Studley will provide people with an opportunity to learn how to use the Nintendo Wii fit, an experience that they will then be able to share with their family, friends and grandchildren.”
